Quote by Sol Luckman

“By standing up to our fears, examining our darkness and reassembling our fragmented selves, we undergo a profound metamorphosis ... provided we’re up to the challenge of seeing the world for what it is: a product of our own projections that have been manipulated for something else’s benefit.”

“The inorganic intelligence calling the shots in this place uses people’s own powerfully creative psyches to generate an energy farm (which we rather cavalierly call the world) to sustain … itself! Truly, the masses—like thrashing, masochistic puppets controlled from above by emotional strings—are living in a hell of their own largely unconscious making.”

“The Dragon doesn’t sleep. It doesn’t need to because humanity provides it with a limitless source of energy. The creature’s lidless eye, like Sauron’s, is forever fixed on us, controlling (indeed, mimetically programming us with) our every thought, emotion, and belief—that is, until we awaken ourselves from its spell by going inward on our way out of here.”

“If you’re sensitive to the flow of energy and semantics, you can unambiguously feel the Dragon at work in all things internet, blockchain, and AI. Quite literally, like a control freak of leviathan proportions, the Dragon is casting a ‘net’ over humanity to keep our minds ‘chained’ to the ‘block’ as our ‘intelligence’ becomes more and more ‘artificial,’ or not our own.”

“But even if we ignore the Dragon’s energy harvesting through cultivation of varying levels of mental illness in its human herd, we can safely say there’s a complex web of tech companies, advertisers and governments all trying, spider-like, to trap our attention for a variety of reasons—most of which probably aren’t in our best interests. Tech companies want to keep us super-glued to our screens at all costs, advertisers want to sell us stuff we don’t need, and governments … Well, let’s just say that these artificial entities explicitly designed to govern the mente (mind) aren’t exactly hiding (except in plain sight) their primary agenda.”

“Sometimes, this disapproval of how you are managing your pain crosses over to disbelief that you are in as much pain as you say you are. They don’t believe that your pain is a legitimate enough reason to rest or nap or cry or take narcotic medications or not go to work or to go to the doctor. They might think that you are making too big of a deal out of it. They doubt the legitimacy of the pain itself. This kind of stigma is the source of the dreaded accusation that chronic pain is “all in your head.” It’s as if to say that you are making a mountain out of a molehill.”

“She was so upset about a blog that maybe a total of six people read yet had no compassion for her granddaughters who had suffered the physical and emotional pains of sexual abuse and whose lives were changed forever. The two cannot even be compared, yet when someone is in denial about what happened, they cannot perceive what is true. It seemed too hard for her to let her mind go there and believe her grandson could do such terrible things.”

“They turned on the television and saw some news story about another goddamn humanitarian crisis, another goddamn civil war in some godforsaken place, and saw images of wounded people or starving children and felt a bright, bitter anger at the children for invading and ruining the only moments of relaxation and "me time" the neighbors had all day. The neighbors would get a little indignant here, about how their own lives were hard too, and yet nobody heard them complaining about it. everyone had problems - why couldn't they just quietly deal with them? On their own? With a bit of self-respect? Why did they have to get everyone else involved? It's not like the neighbors could do anything. It's not like civil wars were their fault.”
